Matt Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I'm up to Ep.5 It's a twisty tale, however I think I know who the Yellow King is or at least who is close to or even protecting the Yellow King, as there is only one detective...

Zorrro Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I'm led to believe it gets a bit hackneyed after episode 5. Matt, what say you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I'm led to believe it gets a bit hackneyed after episode 5. Matt, what say you? I'm going to watch the last episode tonight, and I can't wait - I'd say it was in danger of becoming "Detective By Numbers" in ep7, but I think it's kept itself fresh and original enough to make me want to watch the last one.

Roger Ritchie Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Anyone been watching Line of Duty... Watched the first series thoroughly enjoyed it. Not started the second yet. Currently watching Game of Thrones again from the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pukka Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 At the movies.. I have went to see The Raid 2 last night. If you enjoy martial arts movies, or Tarentino style action movies. This really is as good as it gets. I preferred the stipped down simple plot of the first film, but its good that Gareth Evans didn't try to make the same film. It's definately got cult classic written all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definately got cult classic written all over it. Went to watch this first day it came out at peak time at the cinema and there was 10 people there. Appears a lot of people are going to miss out on a classic. Apparently the style of martial arts for the second film is slightly different to the first (not a clue myself), but I agree about the simple plot of the first one being better than the second; I liked the way it was all set in one place, almost like a video game - trying to reach the top level to fight the 'boss'. One strange thing I noticed was the use of the same actor to play different characters. I know it was a tight budget but it was a bit confusing seeing a man stabbed through the neck in the first one come back in the second... Forgetting that, intense action film, best I've seen of that style, that I'd definitely recommend for an exciting two and half hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornbloweroafc Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Arrow - Been a lot better than I expected! Vikings on the history channel. 2 episodes in and it has a lot of promise. Apparently its done two seasons already in the US! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longtimeblue Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 The BBC thing about Rio and the pacification of the favelas was really good last night. 3 parts and looking forward to the next one. (That Rocky bloke was an absolute geezer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorrro Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'm not an early adopter when it comes to telly so I've only just started watching Hannibal. Hugh Dancy is BRILLIANT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackey Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I went to see X-Men: Days of Future Past last night and really enjoyed it. Easily my favourite of the franchise and a nice change of pace from the previous "new kids" one. I'll not go in to depth for risk of spoilers.

Matt Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Over the last couple of weeks I have seen the films Her, The Sacrement, and Blue Ruin. I can recommend all of them, the acting is a little shaky in The Sacrament although Gene Jones plays an excellent controlling mad man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beag_teeets Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Watched Orange Is The New Black which I very much enjoyed. The Netflix style of dumping the whole series out there in one go is great but does make the wait for the new series seem that much longer. Also did True Detective finally. Started like a train, set a really high bar for itself then failed to reach it. Probably two episodes too long but the good bits made up for the meandering flabby bits.

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I've been enjoying the first two episodes of Gomorrah on Sky Atlantic. They're a bit gangster cliché ("Love my mother, me") and the translation on the subtitles looks a bit suspect sometimes but it's really good other than that. The score is ace in surround sound (Eurotrash electro and stuff) and it's shot really nice in all night time moody blacks and blues (Think: Drive). Anyone else?

I do agree, there were a fair amount of flabby meandering but I thought it was nowt short of excellent still. Rust is an amazing character though isn't he?

HarryBosch Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Gommorah is fantastic - as were the film and the book. Romanzo Criminale is another good Italian effort too, especially the film. I've just started Arne Dahl which looks ok so far. Any other Scandinavian stuff anyone can recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And The Bridge, on Netflix if you have it, is a gripping Danish/Swedish murder thriller series. The Scandinavians know how to make programmes.
